p-values represent differences between HIV-infected and control groups; bold type indicates statistically lower intake for the HIV-infected group compared to the controls.
Suboptimal intake is defined as daily intake below the recommended amount with p<0.001. Values for each micronutrient are expressed as the mean percentage (±standard deviation) of daily recommended intake. All micronutrients are compared with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended dietary allowance (RDA). Pantothenic acid is compared to the IOM Adequate Intake (AI) guideline.
